On the 17th, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced that it will hold the "19th Financial Contest" to raise financial consumers' awareness of the importance of finance and financial education.

Since 2006, the FSS has held the financial contest annually in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, 17 city and provincial offices of education nationwide, and six financial associations. This year, the contest will be held in four categories: youth financial creative works, university student financial contests, adult financial contests, and excellent financial education programs.

After evaluation by a judging panel composed of external financial education experts, awards will be given to a total of 175 participants across the four categories (150 individuals and 25 groups). Winners will receive awards from the heads of institutions such as the Financial Supervisory Service Commissioner, the Minister of Education, the heads of city and provincial offices of education, and the presidents of each financial association, along with a monetary prize. The winners will be announced around mid-November through the e-Financial Education Center.

An FSS official stated, "Outstanding works and programs selected through the contest will be made available to the entire nation and actively utilized in financial education."
